Let’s Refuel America Program
Official Program Rules
PROGRAM PERIOD:
May 7, 2008 through June 2, 2008
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:
This special Let’s Refuel America Program is offered to eligible retail
consumers who purchase (Type Sale 1) or lease (Type Sale L) an eligible vehicle
and take delivery during the program period. This special Let’s Refuel America
Program is an alternative to the traditional incentive offers of Consumer
Cash/Lease Cash and/or APR. This offer consists of a specific number of
price-protected gallons of fuel at $2.99 per gallon* for regular 87 octane
unleaded, E85, or diesel purchases, per vehicle in addition to a Let’s Refuel
America Bonus Cash Program on select vehicles.
This program also contains the following elements:
- The eligible consumer must have a valid MasterCard or Visa credit card to
participate in this program. No debit cards or other credit cards are
permitted in this program. A Let’s Refuel America card will be issued to
participating customers using the customer’s credit card account information
and must only be utilized for eligible fuel purchases. This card will be
activated for fuel purchases only. The customer will receive a PIN number to
the Let’s Refuel America card for security purposes during the activation
process. All amounts to be charged to the customer (e.g. $2.99) will be billed
to the MasterCard/Visa credit card that was registered by the consumer. The
Let’s Fuel America card must be issued in the name of the individual reported
as the vehicle purchaser.
- Fuel purchases will be protected at $2.99 per gallon for 3 years, divided
equally into yearly increments, with the below listed requirements (any
required rounding will be first applied to year 3, then year 2 – if
necessary):
- If the vehicle uses unleaded fuel, the $2.99 offer covers up to 87
octane fuel, but not diesel fuel. Diesel purchases will be passed through to
the customer at full pump price plus a $2 service fee per transaction.
- If the vehicle can use E85 fuel, the $2.99 offer will cover E85 or up to
87 octane, but not diesel fuel. Diesel purchases will be passed through to
the customer at full pump price plus a $2 service fee per transaction.
- If the vehicle requires diesel fuel, the $2.99 offer will cover diesel
fuel only. Unleaded fuel purchases (including E85) will be passed through to
the customer at full pump price plus a $2 service fee per transaction.
- The Let’s Refuel America program is designed to provide participating
customers a specified number of gallons of required fuel (87 octane, E85 fuel,
or diesel) at a $2.99 per gallon price for 3 years. Participating consumers
may elect to upgrade their fuel quality purchases, and these purchases will be
considered as “Out of Scope” purchases with the noted charges/prices outlined
below:
- If the consumer purchases a higher grade of gas (i.e. Mid-Grade or
Premium) on an unleaded gas card, the consumer will be billed for the $2.99
plus $.15 per gallon for mid-grade fuel for a total of $3.14 per gallon (88
and/or 89 octane) or plus $.30 per gallon for premium fuel for a total of
$3.29 per gallon (90 to 94 octane). All other grades of fuel higher than 94
octane are not covered under this program, and the full pump price will be
billed through to the consumer, plus a $2 service fee per transaction. In
addition, if a consumer purchases unleaded gas (including E85) on a diesel
card, the consumer will be billed the full pump price plus a $2 service fee
per transaction.
- The yearly allotment of fuel protected at $2.99 will have the following
start and expiration dates:
- 1st year begins upon receipt of fuel card and has an
expiration date of 7-31-09
- 2nd year begins on 8-1-09 and has an expiration date of
7-31-10
- 3rd year begins on 8-1-10 and has an expiration date of
7-31-11
- If the annual fuel gallon allotment is used, the card will not authorize
any purchases until the next scheduled annual allotment time period is
reached.
- If the annual and /or program gallon allotment is not used during the
appropriate time period, any unused gallons will expire and not roll-over to
the next year.
- If the Let’s Refuel America card is used to purchase fuel at a price less
than $2.99, the price will not be adjusted, but the gallon usage will still be
applied against the maximum annual allotment.
- If the consumer’s MasterCard or Visa credit card is dishonored for any
reason, the Let’s Refuel America card will be deactivated. The consumer will
lose Let’s Refuel America card privileges until the consumer re-enrolls into
the program with a valid MasterCard or Visa credit card and a $25
reinstatement fee is paid by the consumer.
- Cards are not transferable. If a consumer sells their vehicle before the
program expiration date, turns-in their lease before the program expiration
date, or disposes of their vehicle for any other reason, the card will
continue to function for the original consumer as designed.
- This program will only allow one Let’s Refuel America card to be issued,
and it must be issued in the name of the individual designated as the vehicle
purchaser. If a Let’s Refuel America card is lost or stolen, the customer must
call and deactivate that card and have a replacement card issued.
- If the NVDR is reported with more than one name, the consumers must
identify one (1) credit card that will be used for the program that matches
one of the names on the vehicle sale.
- Eligible consumers must enroll for the Let’s Refuel America
card via the Let’s Refuel America web site or by calling
the Let’s Refuel America Enrollment Center (1-800-866-4656)
before July 31, 2008.
- The Let’s Refuel America program contains a $400 maximum fuel charge per
day without pre-authorization.
- If an eligible consumer exceeds the maximum gallon allotment during a tank
fill-up, the program will cover the entire fill-up at $2.99 per gallon, unless
the consumer has exceeded the total program fuel allotment. The Let’s Refuel
America card will not function for future fuel purchases until the next annual
gallon allotment is replenished (if applicable – i.e. if time still remains in
the program).
- Only fuel purchases in the United States are eligible for this program.
- Fuel purchases at marinas are ineligible for this program.
